Khalif Wyatt still wants players to think of him as a winner, but first, he wants them to make the switch to thinking of him asIn 1860, Olympics beat St. George, 25-17 at St. George’s Cricket Grounds, which is now around where the Temple University bell tower stands, inBeing a long-time sports fan in Philly isn’t easy if you are expecting championships. Rather than being disappointed, I focus on the high points rather than the low ones.
I appreciate the managers and coaches who make a team more than the sum of its parts. Topper and Sirianni qualify on that count. Sports, like life, aren’t day-to-day or even season-to season. They are a lifetime experience. My first Phillies game featured a rookie outfielder — Richie Ashburn and a kid who went to my high school a dozen years before I did — Del Ennis. I attended the Easter Sunday Phillies game in 1971 when rookie Mike Schmidt hit a 10th inning HR to beat Bob Gibson.
I’ve experienced the few highs — when the words “World Champion” were affixed to the rafters of the stadiums and arenas. I survived 1964 and Chico Ruiz. I survived Donovan McNabb’s case of the yips in his only Super Bowl appearance. Our teams are best when they are like Philly — gritty and hard working — like the city. Sometimes they win, sometimes they lose and sometimes they are rained out. But I can’t think of a better set of teams to root for in 2023.
